The Story of Little Nick-a-Fund

One day Mother said, “Samuel dear,
I must go out and leave you here.
But, “mind your clients” is what I say:
Don’t use their cash while I’m away.
The great tall regulator comes
To boys who nick their client’s funds;
And ’ere they dream what he’s about,
He takes his great big baton out,
And bops and carts them off, toute suite
That’s what happens to boys who cheat.”

Mother had scarcely turned her back,
Sam took the lot: Alack! Alack!
The door flew open, in he ran,
That great, red-legged enforcer-man!
Oh! children, see! the bopper’s come
And caught our stupid Nick-A-Fund.
Bonk! Bonk! Bonk! The truncheon goes;
And Samuel cries out “Oh! Oh! Oh!”
Bonk! Bonk! Bonk! It goes so fast,
Both Sam’s wrists in cuffs at last!

Ma posts bail, and there Sam stands,
He looks quite sad. He shows his hands;
“Ah!” said Mother, “I knew they’d come
For naughty little Nick-A-Fund.”
Now obedient children, wish to soon —
To hold for dear life to the moon,
And you may lose what little sum
You got from bank of Dad and Mum:
They pay no interest nor respects
To those who fell for FTX.
